SimpleGantt at a glance
A project is created for you the moment you sign up — no setup questionnaire, no minimum user count. Lay out tasks, connect dependencies, lock a deadline, and every task and the project itself show automatically as On Track, At Risk or Delayed. Move a task and dependent work reschedules itself. Add teammates with just a name; the email is optional.
Teamwork at a glance
Teamwork is built around client-services work: projects, time logging, billable-rate tracking and invoicing straight from logged hours. Its Gantt view exists on every tier including Free, but in hands-on testing it comes with a long setup, an email requirement before you can add anyone to a project, and no automated read on whether a project is on schedule — you're expected to judge that yourself from the chart.
The biggest difference
Teamwork has no automatic status of any kind. In hands-on testing, tasks don't get flagged on-track, at-risk or delayed — you're reading a chart and drawing your own conclusion, the same way you would in a spreadsheet. SimpleGantt calculates that for you continuously: set a deadline once, and every task and the project itself update automatically as dates move.
Teamwork also requires an email address before you can add someone to a project, and testing found real friction points beyond that: dependencies were difficult to set up, tasks couldn't be reordered directly on the Gantt chart, and created tasks were hard to relocate afterward between separate list views with no clear distinction between them. SimpleGantt lets you add a teammate with just their name and keeps one dependency order that stays intact as you edit the plan.
The paid tiers also carry a real cost shape to watch: Teamwork's Basics and Accelerate plans require a 3-to-5-user minimum, so the per-seat price applies whether or not you actually have that many people yet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is SimpleGantt an alternative to Teamwork?
Yes, for teams whose main need is scheduling and knowing whether a project will hit its deadline — not billing clients by the hour. If invoicing from logged time is a core requirement, Teamwork covers that and SimpleGantt doesn't.
Does Teamwork tell you automatically if a project is at risk?
No. In hands-on testing, Teamwork has no automated status of any kind — you have to read the Gantt chart and judge for yourself. SimpleGantt calculates On Track, At Risk and Delayed automatically for every task and the project itself, from a deadline you set once.
Is SimpleGantt good for a small team?
Yes — the free plan supports up to 10 users and 50 tasks with no time limit and no minimum headcount. Teamwork's paid tiers require 3 to 5 users minimum before the per-seat price applies at all.
